Good morning all.

5:18 am

Anniebrook

morning, sukee

5:18 am

sukee

Hi Annie.

5:19 am

rubyfoo

good morning Sukee and Annie

5:19 am

sukee

Hi Ruby.

5:19 am

Anniebrook

((ruby)) how are you?

5:19 am

rubyfoo

I'm waiting for my "Easter" lunch to be delivered

5:20 am

sukee

Great, can't wait to find out what it is :)

5:20 am

rubyfoo

No lunch from them tomorrow or Monday, but the local Sicilian called me to invite me to his resto for his Easter goat!

5:20 am

sukee

Very nice.

5:21 am

Anniebrook

How nice.

5:21 am

rubyfoo

Probably lamb and flageolets and a fancy desert, but I necver really know

5:22 am

rubyfoo

Fridays are always fish, sometimes wonderful, others inedible. Yesterday it was cod, Rufie's favorite, so I had to share!

5:23 am

Anniebrook

How is Rufie"s paw?

5:23 am

rubyfoo

Bobby should have an envelope from me by Friday although I sent a letter to my sister in NY which took 3 weeks.

5:24 am

rubyfoo

Both dogs are limping (2 gimps and a crip -- moi), but they're managine, as am I!

5:24 am

sukee

The V word is a new one to me

5:24 am

Anniebrook

The postal service in NY is very fickle. Bobby has all the envelopes you sent him. The Stamps.

5:25 am

rubyfoo

This one has clippings for both of you

5:25 am

Anniebrook

I looked vr4 up. No definition.

5:26 am

rubyfoo

I think vr is like meow or woof

5:26 am

Anniebrook

Okay. Looking forward to the envelope. :)

5:26 am

sukee

Yet, when I search on the Scrabble page it said it is useable but they had no definition either :)

5:26 am

sukee

It seems it usually has a u in it.

5:27 am

rubyfoo

Bobby will be happy, I hope. It's like having a granchild in NY

5:27 am

sukee

I experimented with leaving my bedroom door open last night. Sadly I did not sleep well :) The cats wanted to play.

5:27 am

rubyfoo

(since I have no grandkids of my own :(

5:28 am

rubyfoo

Do the cats get in the bed?

5:28 am

Anniebrook

LOL Bobby is a little too old to be your grandchild.

5:28 am

rubyfoo

I feel old enough LOL and look like I'm 100 yrs old

5:28 am

sukee

Tried to attack my feet, one kept trying to get into the closet and rattling the door

5:29 am

Anniebrook

going to the kitchen to start the coffeemaker.

5:29 am

sukee

I think a good nap is in the cards today.

5:29 am

rubyfoo

That sounds so cute, Sukee!

5:29 am

sukee

So cute, unless you are trying to sleep :)

5:30 am

rubyfoo

Fortunately, these dogs don't get on the furniture or bed, not that I'd mind, but they're very big and not as clean as cats

5:31 am

rubyfoo

But Rufie is on guard all night, doesn't budge from upstairs

5:31 am

sukee

I don't stay mad at them long though. But, I did throw a pillow at the closet at one time :)

5:31 am

rubyfoo

haha

5:32 am

rubyfoo

Years ago, I had a large cat (14 lbs!) who slept on my chest

5:32 am

rubyfoo

I loved it, but ultimately became allergic

5:33 am

sukee

I was spoiled with my last cat, he lay beside me and slept. But, he was a few years older.

5:33 am

rubyfoo

If one of these dogs slept on me, I'd be crushed and smothered

5:33 am

sukee

I'm hoping they will eventually ca 4/6 down

5:33 am

MollyL

According to Merriam-Webster, vr4 is Dutch for Mrs.

5:33 am

sukee

I bet.

5:33 am

rubyfoo

how old are they?

5:33 am

sukee

Just over a year old.

5:34 am

rubyfoo

like frau

5:34 am

MollyL

And since we are all fluent in Dutch, that should have been a no-brainer. : D

5:35 am

sukee

And one words I was sure should be there isn't. Scur.

5:35 am

rubyfoo

resit

5:35 am

rubyfoo

mattygroves

5:42 am

rubyfoo

Good morning Matty and zzoozz

5:43 am

rubyfoo

I don't have either yet -- looking

5:43 am

rubyfoo

We got Matty's sunshine today, but it's still freezing at night, too early to plant my annual "cheats" in the borders

5:44 am

mattygroves

It's cloudy here today! We're up Newark (England) way visiting with Jeff's folks

5:44 am

MollyL

Bottom I is two ir6

5:44 am

sukee

We had sun yesterday. The trees are all still covered in ice so it looked beautiful. Should all be gone by the afternoon.

5:44 am

rubyfoo

<-- didn't know there was a Newark, England

5:45 am

mattygroves

There is! It's in Nottinghamshire

5:45 am

mattygroves

Midlands ish. Near Lincoln

5:45 am

MollyL

Ruby is a Jersey girl. Most of the town's in New England are named after (wait for it) England.

5:45 am

mattygroves

Flat country

5:45 am

sukee

I find a lot of US/Canadian cities are named after places in England :)

5:45 am

rubyfoo

I'll bet it's prettier than the one in New Jersey!

5:46 am

rubyfoo

duh, I never even thought about New Jersey!

5:46 am

mattygroves

Yeah - though Lincoln is much nicer than Newark. Newark is a market town and has seen much better days

5:46 am

mattygroves

There's a Boston in Lincolnshire

5:47 am

mattygroves

And we have some wonderful place names and interesting pronunciations. I'm quite fond of Penistone in Yorkshire

5:47 am

rubyfoo

I'm in a beautifully situated but drab village. The "downtown" i nothing special, but the road where I am is gorgeous

5:48 am

sukee

lol matty.

5:48 am

rubyfoo

and the view!!! superlatives are inadequate

5:48 am

MollyL

For Ru...Some guy must have really gotten his rocks off naming it Penistone.

5:48 am

sukee

groan.

5:49 am

MollyL

*Puts the groan in Ru's pile*

5:49 am

rubyfoo

or they were hungover when they named it (sorry)

5:50 am

MollyL

After Ford came out with The Probe, I said to a friend "why don't they just name a car Big Dick and get it over with"

5:52 am

rubyfoo

ahh, I think I hear lunch arriving on little bunny feet....

5:52 am

MollyL

Eggs for lunch

5:53 am

mattygroves

When I saw Penistone I thought 'B flat'...

5:53 am

ivesy3

5:54 am

Blue against green background is difficult to see.

11:41 am

MollyL

I'm so lost. Doesn't cities end like multiple towns?

11:47 am

dan2bit

it was tripping me up too. The trick is to start with sharp angle and end that way. The "connector" is an odd vowel combo

11:48 am

dan2bit

that way = large towns

11:48 am

rururocks

it takes a village sometimes :D)

11:50 am

MollyL

I wasn't tripped up. Cities and ac7 end the same way.

12:04 pm

NICE! :-)

4:14 pm

jesdraggon

did have the fun of a woman calling last night after hours, freaking out when she heard the after hours fee, wanted me to tell her how to fix her dog without a doctor (she was not happy with my answer of I will not give medical advice without examining and confirming the type of injury - she swore the dog dislocated his hip jumping off the porch, which seems frankly unlikely). She hung up on me when I told her the only thing I could recommend was aspirin.

4:15 pm

got the v one, hunting for the t one

4:16 pm

got the t one, thanks 8 - )

4:16 pm

jesdraggon

then she called back, and said she had lost service - but she'd also said she was sitting in the parking lot of the clinic, and the service there is FINE, and it took over 10 minutes to call back. anyway, this time she wanted to know how much it would cost to come in during business hours, and then asked if I started treatment did that mean I had to keep treating until the dog was all better.

4:16 pm

Nef

Thanks, Doren!

4:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

sounds like a complicated matter! jes

4:17 pm

Nef

Wow, jes! She sounded nuts!

4:17 pm

saanichcat

wow, monkekied both those first time! Hello evryone!

4:17 pm

jesdraggon

I explained that we will do only the treatments she authorized and paid for, and would stop treatment at any time the owner stopped paying. She got disgruntled again, and I told her again that she could come in during business hours and it would be less expensive. Told her the business hours twice.

4:18 pm

Nef

hi saani (& also DOrens and zoom!)

4:18 pm

saanichcat

with that spelling just shown, I can tell it may be difficult to finish..

4:18 pm

jesdraggon

today, she showed up 10 minutes AFTER closing, and said she had the money for the business hours exam. Told her that's great, but it's not business hours anymore, and we're right back to the same afterhours costs we discussed last night. She refused and left.

4:19 pm

Nef

So, jes, was she there when you opened up this AM? (Or was she one of the folks who wakes a vet in the middle of the night & never shows up the next day?)

4:19 pm

Nef

LOL!

4:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you are getting lots of karma from this, jes

4:20 pm

never called during business hours. came in after we closed... like the answer is going to be different the next day??

Hello all. I saw a clue earlier for the to 8/45. The clue was 'think waterboarding' (compliments of The Byz, I believe). In my innocence I was thinking along the lines of water-skiing & was totally baffled. I googled waterboarding..... I feel like a dumb cluck!

4:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i have had some crazy customers but I just sell used books. this lady beats 'em all.

4:21 pm

jesdraggon

thanks, soodle :)

4:23 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Soodle :-)

4:23 pm

Nef

yeah, my sister was getting those kinds of calls too. Her husband (also a vet) would fall for those calls all of the time; but my sister got hard-nosed with people like that and said that she would charge them if they kept calling after hours instead of during hours.

4:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ty, soodle, got it

4:24 pm

Nef

Hi Soodle!

4:24 pm

jesdraggon

I don't usually charge people just for calling, but I have billed people for standing me up when they call after hours

4:24 pm

Soodle

Hey Zooz, Jes, Nef, Gwen et al :-)

4:27 pm

Nef

My sister said if they had a "good reason" for not calling during business hours & leave a voicemail explaining that (i.e.: someone who works nights & sleeps days or something); then she'd charge them.

4:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

when i was growing up, our home phone was the same at the vet, except for the last number. we got vet calls way too often. worse, the vet was Dr. Allen, and my brother was Alan, so once I got a call saying "Is this Alan's?" and I had to go get Alan to come to the phone. He was not amused.

4:28 pm

jesdraggon

Sounds like she doesn't routinely do after-hours/emergency? We actually rotate on-call and will take emergencies, but charge extra compared to business hours.

4:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello everyone

4:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

howdee to

4:31 pm

Nef

My sister & her hubby are the only 2 vets in the area. They did do after hour visits & emergencies; but she wouldn't let people abuse them (because, like I said her hubby would go out at all hours for anyone & my sister refused to let that happen often.l

4:32 pm

Soodle

Jes, my bro-in-law is also a vet. His partner is fond of a whiskey or two (or 20). Walking home from the pub one night he came across a police random road-check. He laughed at the policemen & 'said Ha ha! Ye won't catch me'. An hour later he got a call to say a horse was in trouble birthing a foal. Of course, he hopped into his car to go & assist & was promptly done for drunk driving. There was no horse in difficulties - it was the policeman he had mocked earlier who had made the call. ðŸ˜ž

4:32 pm

jesdraggon

Yeah, there's very few people I've told that I wouldn't come in; generally if they think it's an emergency and are willing to pay for it, I'll come in.

4:33 pm

jesdraggon

hah. well, he was kind of asking for it, soodle! (and I don't drink when I'm oncall...)

4:34 pm

Soodle

For sure!! But this was 20 years ago in rural Ireland. 'On-call hadn't been invented then!!

4:34 pm

Nef

There are just some people who will abuse anyone who's nice to them; & my sister was burnt many times by that type of person. She got Brucellosis from a cow before she got married & some people were very rude & even nasty to her because she was too sick to work for Them!

4:35 pm

Nef

Oh, my Soodle! Wouldn't that be considered "entrapment?"

4:36 pm

rururocks

I would have stalled if I were that vet :D

4:36 pm

Soodle

Oh Nef. Your poor sister. Brucellosis is a horrible condition. And No. He was drunk, fair & square behind the wheel of a car.

4:36 pm

jesdraggon

You should have heard some of the tantrums we got when the old boss retired. Had one woman who was PISSED that we hadn't personally notified her by phone, and never mind that we'd posted it in all the local papers. She doesn't read the local paper, only the WSJ and WE SHOULD HAVE CALLED! She was just going to have to go somewhere else now. I didn't bother to point out that doc wouldn't be there either.

4:37 pm

Soodle

Lol, Jes. That sounds like something out of a James Herriot novel!

4:37 pm

Nef

SOmetimes people can be so weird! That story kind of "takes the cake" in my book, jes!

4:38 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

tricky-woo has gone flop-bot!!

4:39 pm

Precisely, Gwen!!! I love those books!

4:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

tricky-woo, ugly little lap dog owned by silly old rich lady

4:41 pm

Soodle

I never appreciated how difficult a vet's job is till the day I had to get my old rothweiller King put down. The vet had to do a horrible job, then deal with a hysterical mess (me).

4:42 pm

saanichcat

but the rich lady gives the vet all sorts of presents just for being nice

4:43 pm

RoundBarn

the entrapment is, that vet would never have gone out if he hadn't had the fake call about the horse.

4:43 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the rich lady feeds her lapdog nothing but sweets, and when the lapdog is too ill to even move, she says, "oh, dear, tricky-woo has gone flop-bot again"

4:43 pm

Soodle

Jes - if you are a reader, I can highly recommend the James Herriot books. Absolutely wonderful!

4:43 pm

jesdraggon

that's not the worst soodle... after the euth and calming the wrecked owner, then you have to go into the next room and be cheerful and friendly to the next client

4:43 pm

My sister was getting calls from people who lived down here in the Twin Cities but had grown up there. They would call and ask if she'd spay or neuter their pets because "they'd be home visiting their parents over the weekend" & this would be "so helpful" to them if she could do it then. after the first 1-2 years of having to spay & neuter pets for those "clients" for dirt cheap; I told her what WE paid down here for the same services and she was shocked!.She did raise her prices and that type of call became a rarity. (she was charging less than half the price they had to pay down here).

today our little reading group met, we talked about Goudge's Little White Horse. And ate. Next month is Rumer Godden's An Episode of Sparrows. I need to order the Hack Tales--wonder if Dr Gwen has that book--it's folklore. My own last volume is inching along.

4:52 pm

Nef

nice entry, Norma! :-D We were talking about animals just a few minutes ago! (actually Veterinarian stories).

Hi gramma

Thanks. I've used it for quite awhile. Throw back to the 60's.

Are you getting close to the end of this volume RB?

Thanks Nef

Clue please for the tz?

It keeps receding like in Tennyson's Ulysses. I meant the Jack Tales. I need to order, none of my kids will even loan theirs.

Oh, My! It must be a good book if they won't loan theirs out!

Bishop Spong is talking here next month. Half his mail is hate mail from clergy. I will be in the front row.

I love it; just don't know how to spell it. I guess it didn't matter because that wasn't the word.

I have Ulysses (by Joyce) in my bookcase. I have tried to read it many times. Many times I have failed.

Soofdle, I audited it with our best professor (I'm an English prof.) First time I read and understood it.

Oh wow, RB. If I had a hat on right now, I''d take it off to you! I hope to read & understand it before I die.

LOL, Soodle. I did read it once; but it took a long time to do so. It's one book that I actually ran out of the times I could renew the book reservation.

It's only the one grandson, Soodle; & he's doing fine. I was trying to paint our guest bedroom the last 2 days & he was "helping" me.
Word to the wise: if you have a 6 year old "helping" paint a room; be sure to order extra paint and have a TON of patience! (It was fun, but I ran out of paint & spent nearly as much time getting paint OFF the floor & woodwork as I did putting paint on the walls!)

5:12 pm

Rhymes with heretic is a great clue. That is the whole word, less the N

Oh bless, Nef! You just can't beat the enthusiasm of a 6 yr old.

I do too; I did the same thing when my kids were little; but I do think my nerves were a bit frayed this morning....

5:14 pm

Well, I'm off. Have a great Easter for those that celebrate.

Letting kids help is a great thing. I'm not so sure letting them help paint a room is a great thing though.

Molly, my mistake was not covering enough of the room with more tarps. I did get most of the paint up; but I'm also going to have my floors refinished and wisely thought I should do this painting BEFORE the floors get done.

5:18 pm

Nef

I don't have it jes but am looking now.

5:18 pm

Soodle

lol. I can visualise Grandma Nef profusely thanking the 6 yr old for all his help, all the while windering how she would clean up this mess. Lol

5:21 pm

He quit several times; but then would come back & "help" some more. He was pretty upset when he walked in some paint & made a HUGE mess & I asked him to help me clean it up

It was indeed quality time, Soodle. THere are no kids around where they live, and some kid or kids at school had given him a hard time this week about something & he was so negative! My son had been up to his eyeballs engulfed in work; so my grandson was both negative & lonely & couldn't talk about it until bedtime.

New Babble spring/summer cocktail recipe: Watermelon vodka with Minute Maid fruit juice and plain soda water :) Enjoy!

5:41 pm

Nef

Soodle, he's pretty fond of me and I told him last night (& later emailed my son) about the importance of hugs & that you need 12 good hugs a day to feel good & that all's right in the world.
So he collected 8 hugs right off the bat & then gave me some back! It's amazing how his mood shifted after that.!

5:41 pm

car.eeyore

awww...perfect!

5:42 pm

Nef

Hugs are so important and easy to give that we forget how much they mean to others (& ourselves).

5:43 pm

Soodle

Oooooh Car.... About a hundred years ago, when I was young.... In Greece, Summer 1985ishwe used to buy a watermelon, bore holes in it with teaspoons, pour a whole bottle of vodka down the holes, refridgerate overnight, then take the watermelon to the beach the next day, & get sozzled eating fruit!! Good times!

Thank you Nef!!!!

We would carve out a design on a watermelon & fill it with various fruit and then add kirsh or vodka as part of the juices. We did a whale for a family reunion once ( the name was Whalen), a goose or duck for a lake party, a "pricess head for a young girl's birthday (no alcohol in *that* one!), & I don't remember what else we did. It was fun, but we stopped adding booze when there were kids involved.

i hear her cobbler recipe is very good and easy. but i hesitate to make something new to take to dinner.

i am lazy to bake but have nothing to do but read. baking occupies my body as well as mind, which i need now.

I think a cobbler is hard to mess up, TO -- perhaps worth a try!

7:15 pm

I am glad he is experimenting, but had to warn him that he should be saving his money, not buying expensive wines! LOL

7:16 pm

stidmama

Yes, we enjoyed it a lot. It was an anniversary gift from him. Apparently he went to the wine person and asked what sort of wine he should get us. Told the man he knew we liked white wine.

7:16 pm

rururocks

there's lots of wine to enjoy that doesn't cost a fortune

7:16 pm

Thereupon his education began, when he learned there is more than one kind...

JenMO16

10:26 pm

Bugsaw

mo pie, before each word that you enter into the word list, there is a little box with a question mark in it. If you click on the mark and new window will come up with a definition of the word. I use it to increase my vocabulary and the help remember odd words.

10:26 pm

mo pie

great tip, thank you Bugsaw!

10:26 pm

JenMO16

hi Bugsaw!

10:27 pm

10:29 pm

Bugsaw

origami

I am having an adventure in my bathroom. Rotten things abound. Other than that OK. How about you?

10:30 pm

rururocks

and mo puddin'

10:30 pm

mo pie

mo cake is clearly inferior :)

10:30 pm

Bugsaw

10:30 pm

mo pie

mo puddin is pretty awesome, not gonna lie

10:31 pm

Bugsaw

or is it your birthday and know one knows?

10:31 pm

rururocks

yes bugs.. and that frostings me

10:31 pm

Bugsaw

10:31 pm

10:32 pm

JenMO16

10:32 pm

rururocks

hi jenm

10:32 pm

origami

how is the move in going ru?

10:32 pm

rururocks

you gateau check your spelling bugs :D

10:33 pm

rururocks

maybe three more loads ori.. ugh. I'm almost done

10:33 pm

Bugsaw

I am imagining terrible vermin and crawling critters all over origami's bathroom and even the thought of it is creeping me out

10:33 pm

rururocks

vermin?

10:33 pm

origami

woo hoo ru!

10:34 pm

rururocks

I know.. now starts the throwing away crap ..

10:34 pm

rururocks

I do love my new house though I must say

10:35 pm

rururocks

bugs... i have a problem with your profile

10:35 pm

origami

It was almost that bad bugs. It all started with the toilet leaking, leading to ripping out the floor and the old vanity, leading to finding rotten sheetrock and boards. Geesh. It was all very disgusting.

10:35 pm

Bugsaw

you are supposed to throw things out before taking them to the new place. It saves a lot of packing.

10:36 pm

Bugsaw

ok ruru, what it the problem?

10:36 pm

rururocks

yuch ori

10:36 pm

rururocks

you are very far from a crone

10:36 pm

rururocks

if you are a crone..then I'm a geezer

10:37 pm

origami

Indeed ru. I am humbled by the atrocity that was living in my walls.

10:37 pm

Bugsaw

OMG major stuff going on origami. I hope you have a second bathroom to use while the repairs are being done.

10:37 pm

rururocks

dry rot?

10:37 pm

rururocks

I had a little here we had to fix before i moved in

10:37 pm

Bugsaw

Face it ruru, you are a geezer. As of last month I am an old age pensioner!

10:38 pm

rururocks

ohhhhh.. i don't think of myself as a geezer yet

10:38 pm

origami

There was some of that. We had to rip out 3 feet of sheetrock. Remove the horizontal board holding up the verticals. I probably don't have the lingo right. But it was a nightmare.

10:39 pm

origami

I can't wait until I am a geezer/crone. I am soooo close.

10:39 pm

rururocks

I'm sorry ori. I hate stuff like that

10:40 pm

rururocks

I'm in a quandary however

10:40 pm

Bugsaw

Well, in truth I don

10:40 pm

origami

Now there is just spackling, taping, etc. and then can get on with the painting, installing the new vanity, etc. the icky stuff is done.

10:41 pm

rururocks

<---there's going to be three bathrooms at this house

10:42 pm

rururocks

currently just two

10:42 pm

Bugsaw

I don't think of you anywhere close to being a geezer ruru, but you said you were one if I were a crone and I am not backing down on that one. A crone is past childbearing and known more for her experience than her usefullness. I like being a crone. People like grandmothers and adopt me into their families quite often now.

10:43 pm

Bugsaw

what is your quandry?

10:43 pm

JenMO16

I got the 10

10:44 pm

Bugsaw

YAY Jen! long words are harder for me

10:44 pm

origami

I have only the one bathroom, so this has been challenging :D

10:45 pm

rururocks

oh. wow ori

10:45 pm

Bugsaw

yes, we only have one and when I remodeled it there was a lot of confusion and trips to the coffee shop

10:46 pm

rururocks

I'm turning one bedroom into a guest bathroom

10:47 pm

JenMO16

well, I am stopping at 55, have a good night!

10:47 pm

origami

Yes, confusion. I have made 7 trips to the Home Depot in the last 2 days.

10:48 pm

origami

Wow Ru! I want to visit your bedroom turned guest bath :D

10:48 pm

Bugsaw

I wanted to turn one bedroom into a second bathroom and a walking closet but the idea was vetoed. I am now going for a kitchen remodel instead.

10:48 pm

rururocks

kitchen remodel is more important bugs

10:49 pm

rururocks

night jenm

10:49 pm

rururocks

I'm going to be coming up soon bugs.. it's almost already here jeez

10:49 pm

Bugsaw

I am having drawers put in the lower part so I can make better use of the cupboards. I don'

10:50 pm

Bugsaw

don't know when it will be done. I am getting quotes now.

10:50 pm

rururocks

my kitchen is already done.. i just need to convert some other stuff

10:50 pm

Bugsaw

I have forgotten when ruru. Email me with the dates again. I am looking forward to a visit.

10:50 pm

rururocks

10:51 pm

rururocks

10:51 pm

Bugsaw

10:51 pm

rururocks

10:51 pm

rururocks

10:51 pm

rururocks

she likes the hotel

10:52 pm

Bugsaw

I have not spoken with her in too long. I should phone her tonight

10:52 pm

Bugsaw

It is a good hotel. Right on the water

10:52 pm

origami

Hey ru, can you send me your email address? Mine is in my profile and I have a book I would like to send you..

10:52 pm

rururocks

is your favorite chef still at that restaurant?

10:53 pm

Bugsaw

That is why I needed to know for sure when you arrived so I can check. This winter is passing quite quickly this year

10:54 pm

rururocks

I have the wines picked out to bring..

10:55 pm

rururocks

I wish i could bring more than they allow

10:55 pm

rururocks

I just emailed you ori

10:56 pm

Bugsaw

Yes, he is at Locals Restaurant in Comox. You can find it online to see the menu etc

10:56 pm

rururocks

i already saw it.. you'll have to let him know we're coming and make rezzies on a night mr bugs can come

10:56 pm

rururocks

unless he's stuck on his boat

10:57 pm

Bugsaw

Yeah, we can forget Mr Bugs for most of it but he will always come for good food!

10:58 pm

rururocks

ha.. that's what I figured

10:58 pm

rururocks

we'll be fine on our own.. we have lots to talk about

10:59 pm

rururocks

our boat trip is at least 3 - 4 hours

10:59 pm

Bugsaw

and he is deaf and doesn't play Babble so it is all good

10:59 pm

Bugsaw

he is much happier working on his projects. He just brought home yet another derelict boat yesterday. . . sigh

10:59 pm

rururocks

he was just fine at the hotel.. he's just a little shy

11:00 pm

rururocks

kind of like me :D

11:00 pm

Bugsaw

very shy but nice

11:00 pm

rururocks

he is a nice man

11:01 pm

rururocks

very soft and easy going (by appearances)

11:01 pm

rururocks

I like to stir the pot a bit

11:02 pm

Bugsaw

yes, easy going until I want to do something he does not agree with. He won't say No but he can sure plant his feet and refuse to move

11:02 pm

Bugsaw

Yes, but I kind of like sh** disturbers too

11:03 pm

rururocks

yes.. stubborn i can see that too

11:04 pm

rururocks

shit disturbers are more fun:D

11:04 pm

Bugsaw

just not to live with ;D

11:05 pm

rururocks

ha

11:05 pm

rururocks

got that right

11:06 pm

Bugsaw

please help and clue the ac 8 for me. I didn

11:06 pm

Bugsaw

I did not understand the big town thing that Molly tried to use

11:07 pm

rururocks

ac 8 is visual sharpness or mental sharpness

11:07 pm

Bugsaw
